Entry #9: August 10, 2013
In an effort to continue this mental purging, I’m going to write my entry today instead of next week.
So I didn’t hurt Dr. Harper’s feelings saying that I missed Dr. Winchcombe. She actually suggested I talk more about him. I’m not sure how much I can say, or how much I want to say, but I’ll let you know he was awesome. My parents disagree, but they don’t really know him. Plus they’re quick to blame what happened on him, and his inability to "fix" me. It’s not his fault.
I started seeing Dr. Emil Winchcombe when I was a teenager. Like 15 I think. It was mandatory that I saw him at first because I really did try to kill myself. (That was the longest sentence I’ve ever typed. It’s hard to look at.)
This might be the first time I cried about it. I’ve been lying on the floor for the last half an hour. I know you’re reading this. I’m so sorry.
I get why you didn’t want me to see Dr. Winchcombe. I’m sure you were scared. You just cared about me. I can’t fault you for that. I’m so sorry I put you through that. But you have to admit, Dr. Winchcombe figured out I was on the wrong meds. And I’ve told you until I was blue in the face, I wasn’t trying to kill myself the second time. It was an accident. But I digress. We don’t need to rehash that. It’s in the past now.
I love you. Both of you. Thank you for putting up with such a screwed up daughter.
Okay, I’m exhausted. That’s enough.
-Emily
Entry #10: August 25, 2013
I hope no one was alarmed by my absence. Although, the two people who read this blog both know exactly where I’ve been, so it doesn’t matter much.
In case anyone else is reading this, I’ve spent the last ten days up north with my family. My mom just dropped me off at home about 30 minutes ago, I just unpacked, and now I’m going to hit the hay. I have an overnight to work tonight. So that’s fun.
I was going to write an entry up there, but to be honest, I just never felt it. It was vacation. Sue me. I promise though, I’ll be back on track here now that I’m going to sink back into my normal rotation. My good ol’ boring ass normal rotation. I have some stuff I might have to catch you up on. Maybe. If I feel like talking about it.
Goodnight,
E

A thousand apologies for the lack of updates on this page - but work on the novel and other things has had my full attention. Work is going very well, and each day brings me one day closer to completing the manuscript and having the finished book delivered into your hands.
I’ll be delivering a speech tomorrow on my personal experiences (both writing the novel, and working through Inkshares) and I am hoping to have some video from the event to post to the book’s Inkshares page. Also, more artwork (including a final cover!) is on the way, so never fear - there’s plenty more eye-candy left on the relatively*-near horizon.
I’m also going to eventually get around to uploading a handful of new chapters - though the time frame for this continues to change. If you haven’t read through what’s currently available, I implore you to check my stuff out. I’m quite happy with the quality of the posted chapters~
As of now, we’re just shy of 50 pre-orders to get to this goal. 50 pre-orders in 6 days is hard, but it can be done.
I really want the opportunity to share this with you. If you haven’t placed your pre-order yet, now is a great time. If you already have, talk to a close friend or relative and ask if they’d like to pre-order a copy. Remember, this entire campaign depends on your support: I can’t do this without your help.
